Allergies, Asthma, & Pets
March 20, 2017
Earlier this year, after several months of mysterious ailments, I was diagnosed with an allergy to dogs. I have two beloved fur-children (Maltese Yorkies, supposedly ‘hypoallergenic’ – I’ve since learned there is really no such thing) and before these two I had a purebred Maltese for 10 years, so I was completely shocked at the diagnosis. This allergy had started with allergic rhinitis, which led to nasal polyps, which led to asthma, which revealed itself in a chronic acute cough that had many medical professionals stymied for a very long time. As I was not about to re-home my dogs (pet-lovers will be nodding knowingly, non-pet-lovers will be shaking their heads incredulously), I chose environmental adjustments.
First of all, I called in the professionals and had all my carpets cleaned, my blinds cleaned, and my windows cleaned, inside and out. I bumped up my vacuuming schedule from ‘whenever I couldn’t make out the colour of the carpet’ to ‘daily’. And this is the very hard task – I made my bedroom a ‘no dog zone’. After an insultingly short time, Gracie and Koda seem to have adjusted to the new sleeping arrangements. Better than I have, actually – but I each time I reach down in the middle of the night to find them missing from alongside me, I remind myself that it’s much preferable to the alternative of having to give them up altogether.

Carpet stains are a risk that come with living a full life in a comfortable space. With the proper approach, tough stains like red wine, ink, and pet accidents can be removed. DIY solutions include blotting the stain with a cloth, and gradually lifting the stain with agents like baking soda, vinegar, or alcohol. The right method for removal depends on the type of stain and how fresh it is. To make the removal process easier, it’s best to tackle stains while they’re new. Older stains may require professional assistance.

Embarking on a construction project, whether it's a new build, renovation, or remodeling, is an exciting endeavor. However, amidst the excitement of witnessing the transformation of a space, it's easy to overlook the importance of post-construction cleaning. Once the construction work is complete, the site is often left with dust, debris, and various residues. Post-construction cleaning plays a crucial role in enhancing the appearance of the space and ensuring safety, health, and functionality. Getting a construction site or freshly restored facility ready for immediate occupancy is known as post-construction cleaning. This can include: Removing construction debris Removing dust and particles Cleaning fixtures and surfaces Adding final touches Ensuring safety compliance Post-construction cleaning is typically carried out by professional cleaning crews equipped with specialized tools, equipment, and cleaning solutions tailored to the specific needs of the project.
